    It won't fit sorry. The armature shaft is longer on the auto trans models.
    If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

    The auto-matic starter engages from the front of the flywheel, while the std engages from the rear. Just won't work. Walt.

    I probably have good automatic starter if you still need one.
